Revd Sabine Baring-Gould Centenary
2024 marks the centenary of the death of the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould
who was squire and parson of Lewtrenchard in Devon. He was an early collector
and recorder of folk tunes and songs from the West Country such as “Widecombe
Fair”. He also wrote and translated many hymns and carols such as “Onward
Christian Soldiers”. See
www.sbgcentenary.co.uk for details of various events (concerts, talks etc.)
celebrating the Revd., including a series of 4 concerts telling his story by
Mike Bosworth at St Mary the Virgin's church in Denbury nr Newton Abbot during
2024 (28/1, 14/4, 21/7, 3/11 - details to follow in the main listings).
Bicton Inn in Exmouth
The Bicton Inn at 5 Bicton Street, Exmouth EX8 2RU has a regular monthly
music programme of various genres including folk; usually: 3rd Thursday -
Acoustic folk with Becky Brooks; 4th Thursday - Bicton folk night (recently
updated contact no. 07876 064108). www.bictoninn.co.uk.
[3/12/23] Craig Taylor (from Diptford) writes:
"I am looking for a couple of tune
players - fiddle/accordion to start up a working band. I am Australian (for my
sins) so think it’ll definitely be a Bush Band (compared to the finesse of the
ceilidh calling/dancing). Please contact by email
ct@wellmusic.co.uk or call 07786

Another multi-genre arts centre, described by The Guardian as "One of the best
small live music venues in the UK". Up and running in an old chapel since 2018.
Again, I only list the folkier events there, but see
https://ashburtonarts.org.uk/ for
more information on a very busy programme. Many events are priced on a 'pay what
you can afford' sliding scale.
Regular klezmer and East European sessions at Ashburton
Ashburton Arts Centre will be hosting klezmer and East European sessions
every 2nd Monday of the month, starting 9/10/23. Free admission. Led by Družba

I've managed to have a fairly major updating session at the full open-ended Southern Devon Folk Diary listings on www.harbertonfolk.co.uk which now include events as far ahead as June 2024. In my e-circulars I usually list the upcoming events for the next 2 months at most, but some events are so popular that they sell out weeks or even months in advance, so it's well worth a quick glance through the whole Diary on the website, even if it's just to get your favourite seats at your venue of choice.
Part One - Other stuff - Map link corrections
but I have made important changes affecting the whole of the
www.harbertonfolk.co.uk website and
many of the entries included in these circulars.
These changes concern the Streetmap.co.uk map links I use. It came to my
attention recently that many of my links no longer worked - my apologies for
this! Streetmap.co.uk had changed the way their links worked. I have made
corresponding corrections and - fingers crossed! - hopefully any map link you
see will now work again.
East Devon session news: Tale Valley Folk Sessions...

Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis
I've always thought of Lyme Regis being well outside my normal coverage
(loosely defined as "within a 30-mile radius of Totnes as the crow flies" or
"the southern half of Devon), but Google Earth tells me that the town is only
about 39 miles in the former category - and the Marine Theatre is putting on a
great programme of major folk concerts these days, with some of the acts
probably not coming any further west on their tours, so I will give the venue a
listing from time to time. The main one below caught my eye in Steve Cunio's 'Sadfolk'
(www.sadfolk.co.uk)
latest Somerset & Dorset email circular listings as Harberton Folk put on Blazin'
Fiddles at the Ariel Centre in Totnes way back in 2003 and 2005:
Eliza Carthy & Saul Rose: I've been enjoying lots of music on Youtube
and only recently came across a 2014 concert performed by Eliza & Saul in St.
George's Church, Headstone, Harrow which reminded me of the wonderful show they
did for us at Harberton Parish Hall back in January 2001.

Cecil Sharp's People.org.uk
A one-stop website for all the singers, musicians and dancers who met Cecil
Sharp, as he travelled around England collecting folk music and dance between
1903-23. You can read about their lives. Over 650 individuals in hundreds of
locations. They were working people – agricultural labourers, glovers,
laundresses, sailors, shoemakers etc. Their stories should be told!

The Mike Harding Folk Show
The former BBC folk show host presented a weekly show of his own online from
30 December 2012 to 22 October 2017 (over 250 programmes), and since then has
presented further roughly monthly shows which still continue. All 270+ shows are
available as podcasts
at
www.mikehardingfolkshow.com.
Folk news slightly further afield:
Somerset & Dorset (SaDFolk) folk events - Regular email updates
A regular and
comprehensive emailed listing is available through
www.sadfolk.co.uk
(Somerset and Dorset folk, Steve Cunio) for folk events in venues large and small in those two
counties, some of which are not too far away from the Harberton Folk area.
SaDFolk always includes full details of upcoming
events, workshops and courses at Halsway Manor in Somerset which is
owned by the Halsway Manor Society who operate the manor as a national centre
for the folk arts, the only residential folk centre in the UK.
Folk in Cornwall
What it says on the tin -
www.folkincornwall.co.uk - clubs, sessions, events...
Acoustic Calendar - Sign up for email updates at
www.sanchobramble.weebly.com
Tony Watts' monthly calendar of folk clubs, singarounds, acoustic sessions &
open mics in the South West. "The Acoustic Calendar is all about DIY music (NOT
concerts, gigs, ceilidhs etc). The purpose of the Calendar is to keep you
informed of all the places where you can take your voice and/or instrument and
join in or do your own thing."
A quick note on what gets
listed below (and in the Diary on
www.harbertonfolk.co.uk):
The listings are of course primarily intended for 'folk' events; they will
occasionally include Americana, blues and other genres, particularly if the
event organisers have taken the trouble to send me material. Be assured though, they
will never include tribute bands! (excellent though many of these are) These e-circulars usually cover the full Diary
for the coming 4 to 5 weeks, while the website Diary is completely open-ended.
Frequency of
these emails
I used to try to get these emails out once a week, but now they seem to be
every 10-14 days. Perhaps that's not a bad thing - reducing the information
overload - but it does mean that contributors need to give me as much notice as
possible to hopefully ensure that their items can be included in good time. JC
Changing your subscription
details:
If you change your email, or decide that you don't want to get these
messages any longer, please scroll right to the bottom of any Harberton Folk
e-circular where you will find links to the Mailchimp system which will enable
you to make the appropriate changes.
[this exact wording borrowed from a recent SaDFolk email (Somerset and Dorset
Folk) - see Part Two below]
Important Admin note: Email delivery problems
I've had problems sending the previous two circulars to 190+ addresses (mainly
BTInternet, BTOpenworld, Yahoo,
Sky, AOL, plus a few others, all of which use the Yahoo email platform). The
circulars have been soft-bounced, i.e. rejected, on both recent occasion by most
of those addresses "for policy reasons".
When the same address soft-bounces several circulars in succession, MailChimp
(the system I use to send circulars) eventually hard-bounces that address, i.e.
permanently removes it from the circulation and I, as Admin, cannot then
reinstate that address, although the person in question can re-subscribe
themself.
This has happened a couple of times over the last 12 months and I have no real
idea why it happens, so it's very difficult trying to do anything about it. But
this present circular is a trial inasmuch as it employs simpler formatting with
less complex underlying code in the hope this may increase the acceptance rate.
In the interim I have been communicating directly with the 190+ about this problem and I would like to thank the large number of them who very helpfully responded to my last communication when I sent a copy of the latest missing circular as a PDF file attachment, apparently successfully, whereas an attempt to simply forward a copy of the original circular to a test group of 10 addresses failed.
Several people also mentioned that they had an
alternative email address which could be used for receiving the circulars - and
I would ask anyone in this position to please use the 'update subscription
preferences' link at the very foot of any circular to update their email address
in the MailChimp data base accordingly. Should you no longer be able to access
any original circular, I can update your email address for you on request (but
it's best if you do it yourself if possible).
If you change to a Gmail address, please note that my circulars may arrive in
your Promotions inbox folder.
It remains to be seen whether the 190+ will actually receive this circular.
[version sent on 8/6/18 to remainder of 270 contacts 'cleaned' by MailChimp,
inviting re-subscription]
Once again this copy of yesterday's Harberton Folk email circular is being sent
directly from my laptop (not via MailChimp, nor in MailChimp format this time)
to those mostly btinternet / btopenworld / yahoo / aol / sky email addresses who
were removed a while back from Harberton Folk's MailChimp database due to
unknown circumstances and have not yet re-subscribed.
If you wish to continue receiving the regular
circulars, please re-subscribe by going to
www.harbertonfolk.co.uk
where you’ll find a link to a short form to complete – and you’ll be back on the
list.
Or simply reply to this email and ask me to
re-subscribe you.
You can view Harberton Folk's GDPR-compliant Privacy Policy on the website.
Note that the e-circulars are now being sent from
hfolk@johnculf.co.uk.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
At some point in the not too distant future I will no longer be able to continue
sending these separate copies to you.
Best wishes
John Culf
[version sent to NON-GDPR segment on 8/6/18]
GDPR - Still time to update your preferences to
continue receiving Harberton Folk Circulars - Please act now
The new GDPR data protection law came into force on May 25th.
I'm still hoping some more of the people who have not yet UPDATED THEIR
PREFERENCES appropriately (see the link at the very foot of this circular) will
do so to enable me to continue sending them the circulars. You will also find an
'unsubscribe' link there, should you need it.
The full list of 1350+ contacts is now effectively split into two parts, one
containing the 955 contacts who have already updated, the other (to which this
customised version of yesterday's circular is being sent) containing the
remainder.
Alternatively, you can simply reply to this email and I
can do the updates for you, if you tell me that is your wish.
New contacts can subscribe to the circulation at any time via a link provided on
www.harbertonfolk.co.uk.
Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation. John Culf
[version sent to GDPR CONSENT segment on 7/6/18]
Firstly, my thanks to the 955 contacts who have (thus far) confirmed their
consent to continue receiving Harberton Folk emails. My list is now effectively
divided into two parts, i.e. those who have, and those who have not (yet),
re-confirmed. I'm now able to send separately to the two groups and will be
sending further GDPR reminders (with the circular) to the latter group, and can
assure everyone receiving this version of today's that this is the last time I
will mention GDPR! Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation. John Culf
Harberton Folk Circular - Friday 25
May 2018
If you would like to
continue receiving Harberton Folk email circulars...
...you must confirm your consent to do so - or your contact details will soon be
removed from the circulation!
I know many of you will be fed up of receiving emails about GDPR - but today May 25th is the day the new law comes into force.
To date, barely half of my 1300+ contacts have signed up for continued circulars
and I am sure there are many more who wish to remain on the list but just
haven't got round to taking the appropriate action yet.
Even if you don't read any more of this circular, jump to the
"Update subscription preferences"
link at the very foot of this email which will offer you a very short simple
form to complete - your existing details will already be there (with asterisks
blanking most of your email address for security) - just
tick both the vacant boxes and click 'Update Profile'. You can enter
a completely different email address if you wish. (You could even
'Unsubscribe'!)
I intend to send several further reminders about this in the coming days because
I really want to lose as few contacts as possible from the list.
Harberton Folk Circular - Tuesday 15
May 2018
Sorry it's been so long since the last circular. GDPR stuff has been taking up a
lot of my spare time, but I think I'm almost there now.
GDPR Update - My Next Email will Require Action
on Your Part
My next email (hopefully tomorrow) will be particularly important as it will
hopefully ensure that the Harberton Folk email circulation is operating in
compliance with the new General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) coming into force with effect from 25 May 2018.
You must take action as indicated in that next email (or any subsequent
reminders) if you wish to continue receiving the e-circulars, i.e.
re-confirm your consent to receive Harberton Folk e-circulars.
If you do not, we will unfortunately be obliged to remove your name and
email address from the circulation.
Sorry to sound rather 'technical' or officious, but this IS REALLY IMPORTANT and we don't want to lose you!
Please also note that a few changes are also being made at the same time in
the hope of reducing the likelihood of these circulars being regarded as
spam/junk by some email systems/providers. For example, the sending address
will in future appear as
hfolk@johnculf.co.uk (in case you need to 'whitelist' this address or
otherwise approve it for receiving Harberton Folk e-circulars.

Update on the New Data Protection Law (GDPR)
My thanks to the significant number of people who have sent comments and
offered advice on this subject, following my piece last week. I'm
beginning to get a good idea of what I need to do to keep the Harberton
Folk email circulation 'legal' and will share this with you soon. It
will require simple action on your part to enable you to continue
receiving the e-circulars.
New Data Protection Law
Some of you may have heard recent mention of a new
(EU) data protection law coming into effect on May 25th; some may have even
heard its name: General Data Protection Regulation 'GDPR'. I am still struggling
to understand the possible implications of this for my Harberton Folk
email circulars and the MailChimp data base containing your details which
underpins the circulars, and what I may have to do - and ask you to do - to
ensure compliance with the new law and thereby allow you to continue receiving
these circulars. Watch this space! JC
Flaxey Green Website -
www.flaxey-green.co.uk
This excellent Devon website contains a wealth of folk-related information in
addition to an events diary, such as comprehensive listings for folk dance
clubs, pub sessions, bands, solo artists, callers, musicians wanted/available,
morris sides, a For Sale section (currently including a couple of melodeons, a
Peavey KB3 amplifier and other sound equipment.
Reminder for Gmail users:
As well as probably putting these circulars in the Promotions inbox folder
(rather than the Primary folder), Gmail also 'clips' long emails, such as these
circulars, and you need to select the 'View entire message' option to do just
that.

A message from Adrian Bull
"I co-host the 'Roots and Shoots' radio show. I specialise in playing all things
folk(ish) and am particularly keen to promote local artists and events/clubs. If
you are a musician and would like me to play some of your music on the show, or
even come on as a guest, then I would love to hear from you. I am also keen to
have promoters, folk club organisers on the programme."
'Technical' Notes
1) I send copies of my circulars to several different email addresses of my own
(Plusnet, Hotmail, Gmail) to help check that as many as possible are reaching
their intended recipients. Last week the copy to my Plusnet address unusually
finished up in my spam folder. Very occasionally a copy may disappear without
trace. I have no idea why - the joys of email! Anyway, if you think you may be
missing a copy at any time, you can always find the full open-ended southern
Devon Folk Diary listings on
www.harbertonfolk.co.uk, along with the most recent circular(s).
2) A chance communication with a recipient of these circulars has revealed that
Gmail, as well as probably putting the circulars in the Promotions inbox folder
(rather than the Primary folder), also 'clips' long emails, such as these
circulars, and you need to select the 'View entire message' option to do just
that.
The person in question had failed to see the 'Christmas events' section in Part
because of the above clipping.
The following interesting item appeared in Steve Cunio's Somerset & Dorset
Folk Events Diary email today - Have any Harberton Folk recipients experienced
this issue yet?
"Do you use Gmail?
I've had a couple of emails from people asking why SaDFolk had started to send
them Google Calendar invitations to events they had no interest in. I haven't
changed anything here, but following a bit of searching round the Net, I found
that Google had made this 'improvement' to their service.
If you have a Gmail account and a Google Calendar account and any email you
receive contains something which Google interprets as an event you might want to
go to, it automatically adds the invitation to your calendar and sends you an
email about it.
To turn this off, you need log into your Google Calendar then click on the gear
wheel icon in the top right, select ‘settings’ then look for ‘Events in Gmail’.
Under that there should be a ‘Add automatically’ setting. Deselect that and the
problem should go away."
Please let me know (by reply to this email) if you as a Harberton Folk
recipient have experienced this issue. Thanks. JC

An 'interesting' email problem
Those of you who read my recent notes about the various problems I experience
when sending these e-circulars may be interested/amused to see a (new) rejection
message received from a recipient at a local educational establishment. I have

again. This word appeared in the item about Hayseed Dixie:
